Abstract

Churches as a sacred place for Christians had become an inseparable part of the world of architecture for centuries. The Christianity growth had been struggling through so many ages. Concepts and idealisms which developed in the Church in relation with the socio-cultural conditions of the era had become significant factors to be considered. The Second Vatican Council (1962 – 1965) of the Catholic Church was a milestone that brought the Church into a dialog with the modern world and had a significant impact to the form of the architecture. YB Mangunwijaya is one of the Indonesian architects that literally expresses his consciousness in adapting the concepts and spirituality of the second Vatican Council in his church design. One of his masterpieces, St. Mary’s Assumption Church in Klaten, contains cultural values of the local society. Therefore, this unique Church plays a significant role in the life of the Christians in the particular region. People voluntarily keep the Church and are actively involved in making decisions of any conserving activities; including the reconstruction of the wall that was destroyed during the earthquake 2 years ago. This article will describe how YB Mangunwijaya’s designs approach that enhanced the community involvement in conserving the church.
